The present disclosure is directed towards systems and methods for using a software as a service ('SaaS') product. The systems and methods request, in response to receiving a request to purchase a software as a service product, a user identifier. Additionally, in response to receiving the user identifier, the systems and methods enable a completed purchase of the SaaS product with a provisional account associated with the user identifier. Furthermore, the systems and methods prevent use of the software as a service product through the provisional account and, in response to a completed purchase of the software as a service product, request a creation of a user credential. Upon receiving the user credential, the systems and methods convert the provisional account into a permanent account associated with the user identifier and user credential and enable use of the SaaS product through the permanent account.

Techniques and systems for facilitating the creation of electronic content on an editing canvas are disclosed. One example involves displaying an editing canvas on a touch screen of an electronic device, displaying a touch block object overlaying a portion of the editing canvas, wherein the touch block object blocks unintentional touches in an area of the touch screen associated with the touch block object, and changing a position of the touch block object with respect to the editing canvas responsive to receiving touch input on the touch screen to change the position of the touch block object. The touch block object may provide easy and convenient access to one or more editing tools or other feature for editing content on the canvas.
